Powering to the rim

Jalen Slawson (8 pts, 2 blk) and No. 58 pick Trey Kaufman-Renn (8 pts, 1 reb) are leading the scoring as the Timberwolves take a 35-27 lead over the Pacers after the first.

We had 11 lead changes and two ties in the first quarter in this competitive battle.

“This is really good to see the pace we’ve been having,” said Prime’s Teresa Weatherspoon. “This is good. Keep it going!”

Braden Smith (5 pts, 2 ast) likes this shot fading to the baseline — it’s tough, but is a good weapon for a 6-foot guard as he adjusts to pro size and length.

Raining from deep early

The Pacers and Wolves are a combined 7-for-11 (63.6%) from 3-point range to open this contest — we’ve had some free-flowing offense to open this run in the Pavilion.

Indiana’s started to press, seeking to add some defensive balance.

Timberwolves

open Wednesday’s slate on Prime

It’s a battle of intriguing guard prospects, as No. 38 pick Braden Smith, the NCAA men’s basketball all-time assist leader, faces Zyon Pullin and No. 33 pick Isaiah Evans.

Jalen Slawson, a 6-foot-7 forward out of Furman, has been a force for Indiana in recent games, playing off Smith and the spacing around him. Keep an eye on him here.
